No, I think you've got it sorted Margaret!

I am sure it was all straightforward to a person with half a brain, just been out of the investigating loop for a while. Getting back in!!!!

That's it sorted then I think. Thanks folks. I should have been able to do it on my own, but you made it much easier. Hope I can return the favour sometime.

Margaret.

PS Tell me if I'm wrong!

Margaret, I thought it all seemed quite straightforward!

Ellen Caroline Hickey's mother Sarah Caroline remarried in 1922 to Charles W Lambert thus making Ellen Caroline the stepsister of Charles John. She only omitted the "step" part of the relationship on the death registration.

Haven't yet found a likely death for Annie (nee Quinnear), but perhaps it wasn't her death that resulted in the subsequent remarriage of Charles W - maybe they separated/divorced?

Hi folks, think I've got very rusty on all this. I'm into veg growing now!

Would some kind soul tell me where we are at?

So Ellen (Caroline) Hickey born 1906 is the step-sister of Charles John Lambert, b 1902, d 1955.

How?

Her mother, Sarah Caroline Bosher, married Robert (William) Hickey in 1903 who died in ?? have we got that? Before 1928. Sarah Caroline and Robert had a son Robert James in 1909, who was living with her in the 1930s.

Sarah Caroline then married Charles W Lambert, father of Charles John above, in 1922. Presumably Annie Quinnear, CWL's first wife died before 1922. Do we have a likely date for the death? I have lost the plot!

Sorry, packing to go on hol, but will pick upGR while there.

HICKEY Robert James Lambeth 1d 320

I think her mother's remarriage may be the Lambert Connection - she would possible have been stepsister

ADDED: From one of those threads

"I am afraid that this particular brick wall is going to take some bashing. According to Grans marriage cert her full name was Ellen Caroline Hickey, age 22. Father Robert William Hickey (deceased) although havent been able to find death record. He was a carman. She was married in church after banns in 1928.

I honestly don't know if she was baptised. I have found her two brothers registered at Lambeth with mothers name Sarah Caroline Bosher together with the parents marriage entry in 1903. I also found a sister who was born in 1914 and died 1915 of whom my father never knew about. Gran would have been about 8 or 9 and yet never ever spoke of it. She talked about her brothers and her father. Her mother remarried in 1923 and her stepfather was a witness at her wedding to my grandfather. I have tried everything I can think of but still come up with nothing.

I would have thought that I would have at least found them on the 1911 census at this rate I will have to wait for the 1921 census and hope they are there."

Somebody on ancestry has a private tree with an Ellen Caroline Hickey b 1906. There is apparently a photo.

I have to say that I'm wary of that Ellen Caroline death in 1995 because the middle name on the ER from 1933 to 1939 gives her middle name as Catherine .....

EDIT: Just seen the baptism above - looks like the ER was wrong!

Going by the names on the 1933 ER I posted earlier, this must be her husband in 1911, note there is also an Elizabeth Florence:

Meg - my post of 00:24 shows, I think, the death of her husband. I also think Robert may have been the son.

I wonder if sister wasn't the true relationship? Perhaps she was a sister-in-law?

(My husband's brother's wife refers to me as her sister).

EDIT @ 10:30 - She was his stepsister - see page 2

Just putting this here so I don't forget it, not sure but it's the right place, so will have a proper look tomorrow,

But this one seems to have died 1948.

I will run with Ellen C HICKEY marrying Henry W R Tichener,and possibly later marrrying Ernest F Webber. But how does she get to be the sister of Charles John Lambert? I think this needs a bit of sideways thinging.

No sign of Ellen C Hickey on the 1911 census.

Margaret

Dammit girls, you are putting me to shame!

So the mystery woman is Ellen C Titchener, right address. I can't believe she is the one who died in 1966 age 98 to be the sister of Charles born 1902.

I can't find a decent death of Robert, presumably 1853, 1854 or 1855.

But Ellen Caroline Webber fits well, died 1995, born 1906.

Nope I am all confused. Hope you can carry on folks.

Could be an earlier ER?

Other Titcheners at the same address are Elizabeth Florence; Henry William; Sarah; William Robert. Also a Cecelia Whelan.

Wonder if this is the death of her first husband and the Robert in 1953 is a son?
